I have recently started on my gastronomic journey ,trying out different food joints .A few days back I tried out a relatively new food joint which has been making waves in Sohna and Gurgaon already but I was a little late in catching on .Since I have already told you that it is a popular joint now let me now tell you why ...

They have about seven outlets in North India already and I visited their Connaught Place restaurant in New Delhi .

As I entered the place , the aroma of spices wafting in the restaurant ,almost seemed to assure me that I will have some great food and I was not wrong .

Contrary to what you would expect in a hyderabadi outlet (read heavy brass statues , agarbatti smell etc .), this place has a modern and funky vibe to it .Comfortable seating and kitschy decor with mouth watering food photos on the walls sets the mood as you take your seats .

The service is quick and attentive .The waiters are well informed about the food and the portions .

The Value meal Veg at Rs 199 per head and Non Veg at Rs 249 is very popular

Value Meal Combo for Four @899 for Veg Biryani and @999 for Chicken Biryani

Me and my friend ordered an Egg Biryani ,Chicken biryani and Double ka meetha (Shahi tukda ) and all of them were pretty good .This was served with onion roundels, Mirchi ka Salan and Boondi Raita which complemented the food very well .The portions were sufficient for two .At some extra charge they can also upgrade the biryani to "premium " which means they will add a few extra pieces of the juicy and aromatic chicken to the regular biryani .

Another fact that I also loved is that other than your regular Biryani Menu , they also serve other traditional hyderabadi dishes which I would like to try next time like the Baghara Baingan , Andhra Chicken etc .

The Egg Biryani is basically a veg biryani with fried Boiled eggs added

A meal for two with taxes came to about Rs 800 /- only which was decent by all standards .

The Double ka Meetha is a double roti (bread) fried
in desi ghee and served soaked in fragrant syrup

A great place to hang out with friends for sumptuous Hyderabadi fare at equally sumptuous prices .Icing on the cake - they deliver too !
